What are the best kind of hand warmers for camping, fishing or hunting?

[@robwatson8328]

Hi great channel , as I work outside drystone walling in the UK, these hand warmers are great. I just purchased the S-Boston and it gets hot! I also have a zippo 12 hour. Thanks for your video because without it I would not of discovered these great products 😊

[@andgar1812]

Hi from Ukraine ✋

[@10bandsgames69]

I got me a zippo hand warmer last week it works pretty good I think this video is awesome man.

[@normaavalos2810]

That would be ideal for my church, we do an outside nativity in December. Thanks.

[@raus_mit_Islam]

The Peacock is way above all others. Heats for 24hrs. Easy to light, extremely economical. Use Zippo liquid.

[@RB-mm7ce]

Do you know how does Peacock compare to Whitby ?

[@ladeda7033]

The Jack Pyke- dont need to buy the sticks! Char or chard wood works really well! I even tried small bits of cow pie in it. The issue is if your fuel is not charred it will smoke and dirty your unit inside with suet . They get warm and you can adjust the heat by lighting it in multiple places. I used a roll of charrcloth An inch and a half long by about 5/8" dia. It heated great for about 40 minutes! Absolutely amazing !

[@tj1468]

Used to use the charcoal heater on my paper route in the 70's.Yup they smelled pretty strong. If I remember correctly you could purchase them at Kmart for about $5, of course cheaper with a blue light special. I thought those heaters went the way of Kmart until I saw your review. Thanks for the to the point review.

[@bobsue3639]

I have a Jon-e jumbo and it stays really warm for about 24 hours if left in velvet pouch. Really love it.

[@RickyG225]

S Boston gets my vote!

[@stuartmccloud307]

We used to have the Charcoal type when I was in school back in the 80's. i remember you had to keep blowing them to get hot and a teacher caught me and my friend and accused us of doing drugs lol. The 80's England, probably only the teachers did drugs back then.

[@jimmy7391]

Lmaooo

[@alangoode8354]

I have the smaller version of the Peacock and Zippo. The peacock is easier to fill, easier to light and stays hotter longer.. it was also cheaper to buy. Peacock handwarmer has been around since the 1920s, zippo is fairly recent by comparison

[@sylvainlerouxrp2.08]

I really like my Mr whitby handwarmer,try it and u will not disapointed.

[@TF856]

Back in the 70s I bought a used hand warmer that came in a green pouch. That thing worked great and I loved it. It eventually disappeared and I think it got stolen. I think it was larger than the big Zippo. Question; Do you have any idea who might have made it?

[@1D10CRACY]

Not sure, but I did a quick search on eBay for "vintage hand warmer" and a few came up with green bags.

[@Jimhelpman]

I’ve used the zippo ones. The only problem is that you have to use the felt bag or a really cold hand will extinguish it

[@davidgaylord2035]

the JACK PYKE is the same as a "WFS" that i bought back in 1972 uses the fuel sticks works excellent and i also have "Jon-e" which looks like the Zippo also use the "Hot Hands" bags

[@1D10CRACY]

+David Gaylord The Jon-Es are nice because they have the wick next to the burner, makes it easy to light.

[@annastunes9747]

In the 80’ My dad had a Hand warmer similar to the jack pyke and even though I was a child, I do remember it having a peculiar odor I wouldnt say that it smells like cigarettes but it does have a fuel-y burning smell, but it worked great

[@10bandsgames69]

Anna's tunes my father did to his was red.

[@ladeda7033]

It smells a lot less than a liquid fueled hand warmer. I just use charred coals from the fire pit a few chips last for a long time too! Its so small of sent you have to really hold your nose to it to smell anything! And i use cottonwood charcoal!

[@TitleistGuy]

Had an S boston... Was outstanding, but the catalyst ran out and get find a replacement.

[@WORRO]

Awesome video Buddy. Thank you~John

[@justsnuggle]

Can you do a update video with the new electric rechargeable handwarmers on Amazon and Zippo?

[@Rime_Di_Michelangelo]

The Jack Pyke brand is certainly using an old method. Back in the day in my area, or, well, we can sayin every day we you go back long enough, people without servants, ordinary people, used to put embers or charcoal stones inside brass metalware (or silver if you were a noble family) that looked like a pan, then put that in a corner of the master bedroom and one in the room where the kids slept. Strange but also intriguing to see such an old method looking so fancy now.

[@theirishoutdoorcook1207]

I noticed you have a Mil Tec. The one with the star. What rating would you give it, and is it any good?

[@patriceb26]

Bonjour so which one is the best ?

[@gigisdiamonds]

You can find a solid fuel hand warmer on Amazon for about $7.50 and only a few $ bucks for a pack of the sold fuels sticks.

[@ladeda7033]

I found that charred wood works just fine and no smell. I used a charr cloth roll 1 1/2" x 5/8" and it lasted 40 minutes! Its amazing! But soft not hard wood charcoals work just fine. I used charred cottonwood and a small piece like an inch long lasted for a long time! You can lay several small chunks in the box and add them to the coal as needed. Very very efficient box.

[@nickcata1465]

I’m very thinking of getting the Celestron one, for myself because I’m at a cold hockey arena lots. I would use the Celestron one because I think it’s a lot safer, won’t have the Oder, (from what was mentioned in this video). I would buy one for my mother and sister for Christmas and or if I had a girlfriend.

[@NytronX]

The inventor of the product category, Hakkin, is still the best option. Their model called the "Peacock", came out in 1923 in Japan. The Jon-E, Zippo, and the S-Boston are blatant knockoffs of the Peacock. The Peacock in the size "Baby" is the GOAT hand warmer. Fits anywhere (small & lightweight), heats up instantly, always stays lit, is very very warm, and unbelievably long runtime.

[@1D10CRACY]

I have a peacock and it is one of my favorites! These days I've been using electric hand warmers as my primary go to. When I want a long running and very hot hand warmer, I use the S-Boston.

[@NytronX]

@@1D10CRACY Which one? How's the runttime?

[@getprobed838]

people used to put charcoal from the fire into a pan type device and slid it under the mattress....

[@alexblue6991]

I have a zippo keeps going out bought the battery one no problems

[@timdaley5279]

The S-Boston is the winner!!!

[@BBBYpsi]

Need to do a review of the new rechargable zippo hand warmers.

[@1D10CRACY]

Didn't know they existed! Will look for them!

[@mobsyr5232]

S boston. Sold on ebay from Korea.

[@--JohnDoe]

Is it safe for the batteries in the s-boston to get that hot all the time?

[@1D10CRACY]

I must say I had the same thought, but I haven't exploded yet. ;)

[@--JohnDoe]

@@1D10CRACY 😅😅😅

[@DoriCoplien]

Once lit, you can pop the batteries out. They are only used for starting.

[@JoseMora-wc5zz]

Could anybody tell me how long zippo hand warmers last? As in life of the warmer. Is it lifetime? Or do they shit out on you quickly?

[@1D10CRACY]

According to this article they are made to last a lifetime. www.businessinsider.com/zippo-hand-warmer-review-2017-11

[@Pipefitter310]

The S-Boston is great, but you cannot get the top part replaced, mine broke. ..

[@1D10CRACY]

I recently broke mine too. Been debating buying another. I have not ran across any other brands with the same features.

[@ladeda7033]

Get a Jacks Pyke style. Use charred wood its is a fantastic efficient little box!

[@kevinerickson2595]

What happened to s- boston link?

[@1D10CRACY]

Looks like it no longer works. Sorry.

[@hejarkhalid2570]

If the S-boston gets very hot, then how do you turn it off with bare hands? Also, can you frequently turn them on and off to save the chemical inside?

[@NytronX]

Easy, put it in a resealable bag, ideally a mylar bag. Or some kind of tin can similar to an altoid can except bigger. No oxygen = no combustion.

[@ravenblanketful]

well the charcoal jackpike things are really hard to lit.And when they finally lit they go out and you have to lit it again.

[@nattfiol2835]

Presumably it's because the charcoal attracts moisture. Perhaps storing the sticks with silica gel would help?

[@ladeda7033]

You dont have to use the sticks! Just get some charred wood and put chunks inside your box. I lite mine with the bottom of a soda can thats polished or even a full water bottle. Its very easy to light chard soft woods. Oak is harder because it requires more heat. But charr anything will work!

[@jhosk]

Wish there was a love button instead of a like button.

[@paulcrave3112]

are the zipos or the Boston Pocket hand warmer odors going to be noticed by wild game?

[@DoriCoplien]

Zippo makes a fluid for hand warmers that has next to no odor www.amazon.com/Zippo-oz-Hand-Warmer-Fuel/dp/B01462NLW6/ref=sr_1_2?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1542818796&sr=8-2&keywords=zippo+hand+warmer+fluid

[@ladeda7033]

I like the jack pykes style. I just put a few little pieces of charred wood in it and there is no smell. Even cottonwood char works fantastic and has no noticeable sent! Its amazingly efficient. Forget the sticks make your own just pull some coals out of the camp fire and smother them in a can and you got char for the whole day. Im totally thrilled with the ones ive used. Extremely efficient too. Once i even added a few small chips of a cow pie after it smoked a little it began to glow! And made lasting heat. It dirtied the box a little because it wasnt charred first. But it did work! And could be used in a pinch.

[@Oldcoinsandstuff1]

Will the zippo burn alcohol

[@kaliumnitraat]

No

[@nadeemleon4197]

Sir S Boston is not available on Amazon can u plz tel me where I can obtain one thanks

[@1D10CRACY]

They seem to be seasonal. Last year through the summer I couldn't find them either, but when fall hit, they were selling them again on Amazon.

[@nadeemleon4197]

[@j-sonS]

I just ordered a jack pyke but when you pay about $1 for each charcoal...those disposable ones are similar without a smell.

[@1D10CRACY]

+Jason Seligman Right! I'm not a big fan of the charcoal burners. Anymore I've been using the rechargable and the s-boston.

I remember the Zippo ones that my friend used back in the 80s I just got some muddy rechargeable hand warmers from Sam's club they have a flashlight and USB 4400mhz at 1.5 amps runs around 5 hours at 112+ two of them for 40 dollars 😃 way safer than the lighter fluid ones

[@wfloes5420]

Any harmful chemicals? Off gases? Asbestos?

[@1D10CRACY]

I've often wondered about this myself. Hopefully someone can give us a good answer. I personally have moved to battery powered hand warmers.

[@gretathuumberg]

@@1D10CRACY If I remember correctly, the Jack Pyke has asbestos in the lining.

[@jonnymilitia]

The zippo is burning. Hence lighting it to start it. You can see it glowing.

[@1D10CRACY]

The term burning is a bit obscure for this topic. Nothing in the lighter is on fire, there is no flame. The glowing that you can sometimes see is the catalyst (Platinum) glowing because it is hot.

[@backtothebush6629]

Hey, I found a hand warmer with dads old hunting gear. You have 3 of them in your vid picture, the one that looks like a firework or a sun maybe. Has a stamped 'Hong Kong on the lid. You didnt mention it in the vid, mine is missing the catalyst. Am wondering about replacements, Any help?

[@1D10CRACY]

If your just missing the packing in the top where the cataylist is held, you might want to message the guy who runs this channel, he seems to be the king of hand warmers and sells upgrade kits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZzXdYCrpclrhNE .

[@backtothebush6629]

@@1D10CRACY Thanks, it's the entire piece. This is the only channel that i've seen so far with the exact one. Most are zippos and newer styles. I dont even know who makes it or what it's called. I just watched a few of the vids from your link, I'll give it a shot.

The unfortunate thing about charcoal hand warmers is the fact that they emit carbon dioxide as well…

[@26sd135]

The fuel sticks are rubbish made in china, The fuel sticks keep going out, Lots of people complaining on the forums. I lit mine 6 times and had 1cm glowing red hot, kept going out so i changed to the zippo lighter fuel type, Lots better and hotter.

Translate carbon monoxide poisoning to me

[@ladeda7033]

If your as much of a snowflake as you make yourself out to be ; dont worry about it, you would probably melt under the heat into a puddle of tears and evaporate before any carbon monoxide or dioxide could be detected.
